ME!!!!!! Yes, indeed, Viv here has reached "35". I woke up this morning beside the darling one and was presented with my first present. Like every woman's dream, besides having a man in her life, most women dream of getting something from Tiffany's. Well, I'm a very lucky lady, cause I got both! My sweetie gave me a tie-knot bracelet. It's silver sterling with a touch of gold on it. I will never take it off, with the exception of taking a shower or going into the pool. = 0 ) Then, I just checked my e mail and received a birthday greeting card from my best friend, Dewi, who lives in Boston. That was very sweet of her.
This is only the beginning, my day has just begun. Stay tune for further details....
Well, Eric got evicted. Which makes him the first man to go. Now, this show is starting to get interesting. In a moment, there will be a new head of household to be chosen. Bathroom break..Be right back! Ok, I am back. The competition is very interesting. Person who can prevent their ball from going to the gutter wins. Or who ever has the best position. Chiarra is the new head of household!
Ok, the weather is HOT!!!!!! My bus ride going home was a ride from hell. The air conditioning wasn't on and we were packed in like sardines. People wearing their backpacks on their back. Shoving and bumping you. Geeesh people, why don't you take the damn packs off and put it down or hold it. Do they sleep with it? Do they go to the bathroom with it? Ok, Viv has vented it out. Breathe in...Breathe out...
Chiara won the power of veto and didn't use it to save her friends Eric or Lisa. So, tonight one of the couples will be split up. I'm hoping they vote Eric out, all the women are almost gone. It's down to three and 6 guys. The happy couple had a date, with all the other housemates making dinner and setting up a candlelight dinner. Awwww how romantic. This will be the last time they will be together, until the other one gets evicted. They look all nice and groomed as the host is talking to them. Tonight someone gets evicted and there will be a new head of household. Darn! They showed 3 people name their vote(s), one voted Eric out and 2 voted Lisa. Doesn't look good. They will reveal the result at the end.
At a rare moment, my train was 5 minutes late. Not a big thing you would think? The train started to stall a bit, and the lights kept shutting off. Seems that there was something wrong with the circuit breaker. All through the ride, I was hoping that didn't have to make a stop and get off the train. That would have made my commute later than it normally is. Fortunately, the train was able to make it to the city and I wasn't late for work.
The women plan a trip to Atlantic City. Samantha went with Richard, because he was attended a boxing tournament there. She still doesn't trust his wandering ways and it bothers her very badly. But Richard is very true to her and keeps telling her he loves her. Miranda finally gets a chance to be away from the baby and have some time for herself and the girls. Carrie plans something for Charlotte's 36th birthday. Charlotte says she is holding on to her 35th and wants no mention of her birthday and her real age. This comes to mind. Why do people feel as if they have to hide their age or not admit their true age? I make it a joke with my older sis, Nancy, every time she has a birthday. I always wish her a happy 25th for the 15th time. =0) To me age is not a factor. Yes it is true, I will be turning 35 and that will be 5 years away from the big "4" "0". This birthday will be very special. I will be spending it with my sister "Nancy", I refer to her as my second mother and her hubby, my co worker "Aggar", Nancy and Jim, and last but no least...my boyfriend Bill.
Well, I have been meaning to start knitting a blanket, just never got the chance. My original plan was to make one for my best friend and one for my mom. Sadly, my mom was not able to be around for me to make her one, so I am making one for my friend. It's not going to be birthday gift for her but a Christmas one. It's got a multi color tone in it, so it's not a solid color. If this turns out right, I am planning to make one for my darling one. Long time ago, when I was about 10 or 12, my sister taught me how to knit. I was trying to make an orange scarf. It didn't turn out as I expected and I stopped knitting. This time, the blanket I am knitting doesn't look that bad. Starting it was very difficult but so far it's coming out nicely. It takes a lot of yarn and it is time consuming. Hmmm wonder how long it will take me to finish it??
Well the nominations have been named to be evicted. It's Eric and Lisa. Ironically, these two are one of the couples in the show. The other couple is Chiara and Roddy. The strategy here is to eliminate or at least seperate the couples. If they can get one of them evicted, than that can give the others an advantage. So far, they have evicted most of the females. Personally, I think they should start evicting some of the guys. Doesn't seem that interesting to see only the men left and have them wheel and deal to get rid of the others. It should be evened out. Now there are 6 guys and 3 women. I am rooting for Danielle "she is a local girl from Fairfield." But I doubt if she will last that long. We will see if Lisa or Eric will win the veto medallion and if either one will use it to veto the others nominations. Will there be turmoil between the couples? Will the romance last between the couples? There was a confrontation between Chiara and Roddy. Roddy got all snippy when Chiara made the comment "I know what you were thinking" and Roddy snapped back "you don't know me too well to make that accusation, so you don't know what I was thinking." Seems that Chiara is very smitten by Roddy, but Roddy isn't admitting it's "true love." There could be a possibility that he is using her for his advantage or he just wants to have fun and no strings attached. Stay tuned for Wednesday's episode...
